PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

T his National Day, we are expecting a bonanza of lights,

acrobatic feats and military drums – a sensory overload

that we’ve come to associate with the NDP. It is rather

hard and humbling to think that such a spectacle is pulled

off by mere volunteerism.

In our Club, our Sub-Committee members certainly

know the meaning of volunteerism. They have been

giving generously of their time and expertise in the Sub-

Committees they serve. For that, we thank our delicated

Sub-Committee members.

With this year’s NDP theme being “Many stories, One

Singapore”, we seem to have been adopting one of our

own in recent months, that of innovation.

Jackson Miller completely revamped its wine list in

June this year. We meticulously selected concoctions

with names like Avignonesi and Beringer, from the United

States and Italy rather than traditional wine country France,

as they meshed nicely in both quality and cost effi ciency

due to lower and smoother tannin levels. That resulted

in the doubling in wine orders!

With such decadence comes

indulgence, so dessert wines and sparkling Moscato are

not forgotten.

From August, SOM will be launching its on the spot

creative designer cocktails . Get a taste of a good ol’

Californian concoction of brandy, maple, raisins and

orange juice.

Sometimes change can come in the form of an old

treat. The Palms has brought back the Chinese Set Dinner

menus, saving you the hassle of selecting from our a la

carte menu. Look out for the classic Teochew Yam Paste,

otherwise known as “Or Nee”.

We are creating more card rooms due to popular

demand. We hope to have the new rooms ready by

September. As for the Club corrective works, a new

architect has been appointed and we will soon be

tendering out the work on the MSCP and the Cabanas.

We have in recent months infused creative thinking

Redefi ning our Club Culture

into our Club events.

One such example was

the Mocktail Party cum

dance party with the

moniker Shuffl e to the

Beatz. This new quasi-

clubbing experience we

created turned out to be

not just a success but

enabled D’Tanjong to

break the highest single

day’s sales record for

the past few years! It is

certainly a precursor of more such events to come.

The renting out of retail spaces will directly impact on our

Club culture as we know it. The process is peppered with

heavy negotiation and the like. The novel embellishments

will hopefully see a Spa operator occupying the fi rst fl oor

of the Admin Extension Block along with a Chinese music

hangout which will occupy the

second fl oor. The only thing that

is holding this back is the approval of licenses which our

would-be tenants are working towards.

Finally, a little anecdote to share. Recently a member

who came to dine at Jackson Miller requested for a special

menu to be created for him and his guests. The staff of

Jackson Miller not only obliged, but customised a wine-

pairing menu for them. The guests were very pleased

with the service. This is the kind of innovation and service

excellence we are looking to develop at the Club.

I would like to thank you for your unyielding support,

and I look forward to sharing more good news with you

in the months to come. In the spirit of togetherness, on

behalf of the Management Committee and Staff, I wish all

Members a Happy National Day!

SPLASH august / september 20134


Recently, a member,

who had been away

from the Club for over

the last six years, revi-

sited us with his aged

father. He told one of

our MC members that

the events featured

in Splash were what

prompted him to

emerge out of hiatus.

Similar sentiments have

been shared with me,

from members revisi-

ting our revamped Club. Revolutionizing exists within

the walls and between the lines; so with our Marcom

Chair and team sprucing up our bi-monthly publication

and club communications on the whole, considera-

tions have and will be met. Implementation of a mass

messaging service to our communica-

tions cache is an interesting shift.

It is truly a tall order running a sprawling club with a huge

membership base. Words like exclusive and inclusive,

family and fun and even surplus and self-sustainability

all must exist within one terrain. With great expectations

also comes great support so your active participation is

requested and appreciated. Such camaraderie can also

extend outside the Club premises, inviting novelty to

experience something novel.

We are organising an Open House on 7 & 8 September.

If you are the proposer of a new member who makes a

direct purchase of membership from the Club, you will

receive an incentive of $750 credited to your account.

We look forward to welcoming your best of friends as

Club members soon.

Cheers!

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE

M y teenage daughter came home one day and announced

with great jubilation that one of our neighbourhood

supermarkets will be undergoing a major retrofi tting

and be rebranded with the term Finest. Curious, as she

is one who is more at home with haute couture than

supermarkets, I quizzed her resonance with the relayed

news. She then expressed that with such an addition to

the surrounding infrastructure, our neighbourhood would

become more “atas”, more up-scale, by default. She

added that our property value would also rise as a result.

At the Club, we have expectations to meet as well.

At the recent AGM there was a suggestion that our

Club could perhaps consider opening our doors to non-

members to patronize our F&B outlets as that would help

bump up our revenue. But another member pointed out

that such a step would erode member exclusivity. Such

appeasing of dual expectations is no easy task, but kudos

to the various committees for trying. The Palms Café, with

their Palms’ Wish List, polled members’ top ten favourites

menu items. Although seen as a

member’s privilege, it did serve a bigger

purpose of pinpointing dishes that sell and that therefore,

have a direct impact on the Club’s P&L. Quite the trick.

As important as striking a fi ne balance between

exclusivity and revenue is conjuring originality.

Our ever beloved Mocktail Party was recently held in

conjunction with a fresh initiative to attract the young

and the young at heart. It was aptly called “Shuffl e to

the Beatz”. The joint event enjoyed rather encouraging

patronage from two very diverse age demographics.

Our F&B Department jumped on the bandwagon with

the recent durian feast at the Cabanas. Patrons said that

a better deal would be at hand if we were to hold the

fare during the durian peak season instead. And we shall

be back with the king of fruits soon. Just like our dance

events, it never ceases to amaze me how our members

have all the enthusiasm and vigour to relay their two

cents’ worth making our Club better and expectations on

both sides stronger.

Great Expectations

8 SPLASH august / september 2013

We sometimes take things for granted – our jobs, our

families, public amenities, social and religious harmony,

living in secure neighbourhoods and so on. Before we

rock the boat, it is worthwhile for us to consider how

different will Singapore would be today if not for our

Independence.

In our Club, we have our own way to celebrate our

country’s birthday. The National Day Carnival has

become a tradition of the Club for as long as most of us

can remember. This year we are using the Many Stories

… One Singapore in line with the nation-wide theme.

Do come and enjoy the food, the games and the fi ne

company.

Many stories, One Singapore

Let’s come together tocelebrate National Dayby VINCENT ESPECKERMAN

We all look forward to public holidays. Because it means

we get to stay up late the night before and get up anytime

we like.

And why not? We work hard and we deserve a break

every now and then.

We have all kinds of holidays. Some are religious feasts

and cultural festivals. Others celebrate workers, heroes

and signifi cant events in history. National Day stands out

among all the holidays if only because it is a holiday for all

Singaporeans without exception.

Every year on 9 August, we look back to that date in

1965. That’s when Singapore secured its independence

from Malaysia and became a sovereign nation. That was

when we attained the rights to our freedom and self-

determination. When we see the many countries being

controlled by outside powers, or are not politically or

economically strong enough to stand on their own, we

realize that freedom and self-determination are not things

we can take for granted.

During its post-independence periods, Singapore has

had to struggle for its survival. There were threats, both

internal and external. But in the end, our people always

pulled together and closed ranks. It took a lot of time

and effort to build bonds and foster trust among our

people from the various ethnic and religious groups. But

over time we realized that our diversity was actually our

strength. Our mix of people is what made us colourful

and given us our unique identity as Singaporeans.

CLUB HISTORY

A slice of history:

We waited 37 yearsto get our firstSwimming Pool!by VINCENT ESPECKERMAN

Many members might be assuming that being a swim-

ming club, we’ve always had a swimming pool.

That’s not the case.

In the early years of Singapore Swimming Club we had

a beach front and, in fact, our members used to swim in

the open sea.

In 1899, we built a diving stage right in the sea near

the Club. It was a simple wooden structure with thatched

roof. It added to the fun of swimming, but swimming in

open waters in those days was risky business.

One fateful day, one Miss Boyer Smythe made a dive

before she spotted a shark in the water. There was a

sharp scream, a puddle of blood appeared in the waters,

and she disappeared never to be seen again.

To solve the problem with sharks, a temporary pagar –

a rectangular shaped wooden fencing – was constructed

around the diving platform, and swimming was henceforth

restricted within the confi nes of the pagar.

Later a more permanent pagar was built with concrete

bed. The pagar seemed to solve the problem with sharks

and sustaining cuts from sharp objects in the muddy sea-

bed. Then one day, member Edward Ted Morgan made

a full-blooded dive from the platform and ended up with

a broken neck. There was insuffi cient depth of water in

the pagar area!

It was then that members started talking about having

a swimming pool of their own where they could bathe

any time of the day rather than having to wait for high

tide which occurred eight to nine times a month in the

afternoons.

The idea was mooted at the annual general meeting in

1928. But it was only in 1931 that we fi nally had our fi rst

swimming pool! That came 37 years after the Club was

offi cially inaugurated in 1894.

The pool’s diving platform at that time was a structure

with a triangular frame. Every time a picture of the Club

appeared in the newspapers or a news clip, the triangular

diving platform would be the most prominent object. It

remained an icon of Singapore Swimming Club right until

1989. The children’s pool was at the opposite end from

the diving platform, and remains in the same position

today.

5-a-Side Soccer Tournament 2013: 29 June

Well in command by MUSTAJAB KASSIM

T he tournament took place at The CAGE on the last

Saturday of June. The objective of this annual event was

to bring our soccer ethusiasts together whilst providing a

platform for young emerging soccer talents to shine.

The competition saw four teams – namely Commandos,

Rangers, Snipers and Warriors – taking part. For a start,

the teams went head to head in a round robin challenge

to establish which two teams would face off for the

Champions title. The scoring was based on the two

with the most points. As it turned out, the Commandos

emerged as the top team followed by Rangers, Warriors

and Snipers in that order.

And so we had Commandos and Rangers facing off in

the fi nals. Commandos eventually overcame Rangers to

win at 2-1 and claim the Champions title. In the succeeding

match Warriors beat Snipers to claim the third spot.


15th Taekwondo Open Championship: 25 May

Taekwondo Take-Down by MUSTAJAB KASSIM

T he championship saw a total of 34 participants battle

it out in three core events, namely Individual Poomsae,

Individual Freestyle Destruction and various Sparring

events. The umpires were from the Singapore Taekwondo

Federation (STF).

In the Freestyle Destruction round, participants had to

break planks using their bare fi sts and feet. They were

assessed for style as well as execution. The sparring rounds

also proved exciting as opponents tried to outpunch and

outwit each other.

The most coveted award of the night, the Best Performance Award

2013 went to Adon See. Our Martial Arts and Fitness convenor, Dr William

Choo, presented the medals and souvenirs to all the winners, and tokens of

appreciation to all the referees and coaches.

Winning was secondary. So each

team had both adults and juniors and

players with mixed experience.

39 players signed up for this year’s

tradition, the players were grouped

and ranked into four teams to play

fi ve doubles ties in round-robin

after the four tennis greats – to remind

them that they are all champs in their

For the records, Team Djokovic

SSC are champions!by PHILIP TAN

S ixteen of our golfers took part in

the second leg of this challenging

tournament, held at the beautiful

Ria Bintan Golf Club. Tanglin Club

played host for the event, with over

100 golfers from seven different clubs

taking part. The scoring format was

altered in an effort to foster greater

camaraderie among the players.

Each club had to elect three to six

players per division, namely Division A (0-12 HCI), Division

B (12.1-18 HCI) and Division C (18.1-24/36). The scores

of the top two players were tallied based on System 36

Stableford. The results determined the winners of each

division. The Overall Champion Team was determined by

the top two scores for the three divisions.

After the event, the golfers had lunch at Ria Restaurant.

For this leg of the tournament, SSC Golfers were placed

within the top three positions in all three divisions! And

Francis Chia was named the Overall Best Gross Golfer.

To top it all off, SSC emerged as the overall Champion

Team. Kudos to all our golfers for a job well done!

Our Fabulous Fiveby DANIEL NG

Lee retained his Youth Open Masters title while Royvin Ho

enjoyed a rather comfortable win in the Handicap Masters

Division.

Susan Tan was crowned Champion in the Ladies Open

several challenges before emerging as champion of the

Men’s Open Masters. The Prize Presentation Ceremony

S even of our swimmers were selec-

ted to represent the nation at this

prestigious meet bringing together

emerging swimming stars from

around the region. Senior Coach,

Zhang Chanyan accompanied the

Singapore team.

SSC Swimmer, Chloe Wang had

the honor of claiming the fi rst gold

medal for Singapore in the Girls

14-15 years 400m Meter Freestyle,

and in the process smashed her

personal best time. That was just a

prelude to a slew of medals and great

performances by SSC Swimmers.

Chantal Liew also won a gold,

while Nadine Staes-Polet, Christoper

Cheong and Chantel picked up

silvers. We had some bronze as well.

We congratulate our swimmers

who did the Club and our nation

proud!

SSC Swimmers in Team Singapore:

1. Staes-Polet, Nadine -1 x Silver Medal

2. Liew, Li-Shan Chantal -1 x Gold, 1 x Silver, 1 x Bronze

3. Wang, Wenyi Chloe - 1 x Gold, 3 x Bronze

4. Chan, Pei Tung Melissa - Nil

5. Ong, Wei Zhen Ethan - 1 x Bronze

6. Low, Wei Yang Malcolm - Nil

7. Cheong Ee Hong Christopher - 2 x Silver, 1 x Relay Bronze

O riginally scheduled on 31 May, the event was postponed to the fi rst week

of June due to the heavy downpour and the risk of lightning. But the 104

swimmers put that little hiccup aside to swim a whopping 203 swims, 184 of

which were personal best timings. That’s a 90.6% rate – just two months after

the fi rst grand prix held in April!

T he Fun Swim Camp was

deliberately planned for the long

mid-year school holidays so that

freed from their school work, the kids

could really hang lose and have some

fun. 31 children up to nine years old

participated in the event.

The fi rst two days’ activities were

all held within the Club. The children

played games, viewed videos and

pool training. On the third day they

ventured out to the Butterfl y Park and

the Underwater World on Sentosa.

The Butterfl y Park gave our

swimmers the chance to hold

colourful butterfl ies of various sizes.

Some even got to feed the birds

from their hands! Later the children

explored the fascinating plants and

sea-creatures in the Underwater

World. The mighty shark and the

graceful stingrays were just some

of the things that captivated them.

The kids then spent time with some

awesome organisms at the feeding

area. After that there was just enough

time to take some snap shots with

Sharky and Pinky before they were

whisked to dinner.

TRAVELLER’S TALES

A trip to Cebu & Bohol

Crawling up C

When Nazri fi rst told me the gang was planning to go

away on a short trip, I jumped in and said, “Let’s go to

Cebu! I have a friend there, maybe he’ll show us around.”

Everyone agreed. And so Cebu it was – no debate!

We – meaning Nazri, Azmi, Tang and I – arrived at

Cebu and made straight for the Alba Uno Hotel where we

stayed while we were there. We had to wait for my friend

Chris Dizon who knocked off from work only at 3pm.

Chris used to work in Singapore some years back. Let’s

just say I was good to him. And now it’s pay-back time!

Chris fi nally arrived and we wasted no time hopping

into his eight-seater boneshaker. Chris brought us to

this restaurant called “Jo’s Chicken”, which specialized

in BBQ. I must say the chicken meat was succulent - not

leather dry as BBQ meats tend to be.

We spent the next couple of hours taking a spin around

town and got a fl avour of the Cebu traffi c. On Cebu roads,

the bravest gets the right of way.

Chris was working the next day and could not be with

us during the day. But he was helpful enough to draw

up a checklist of must-see, must-do and must eats in

Cebu. So we hired the hotel van to take us through the list

which included the Taoist Temple, Santo Nino Basilica,

Majellen’s Cross and Fort San Pedro.

We covered all the destinations on the list quickly

enough and had some van time left over. So I asked the

driver, “Anywhere else would be nice to visit?”

“I can take you to Tap,” the driver replied.

“Tap? What can we see there?” I asked

“You can see the whole City of Cebu from there sir.”

We had to crawl up a steep hill to get to Tap. It was

only after we arrived at the bald summit that we had our

Eureka moment. Tap!? ... Oh, TOP!!! Top of the hill!!! You

know la how those Pinoys say it.

On “tap” of the hill with Cebu city in the backdrop. With certain individuals

showing off. No names mentioned.

These three mermen are from Singapore (the fourth one was on the boat

refusing to get wet).

White Sands Saavedra Beach Resort is situated at the southern tip of

Cebu Island about a two-hour car ride from Cebu City.

RIGHT: This island near Saavedra Beach Resort looks like a boulder

space-craft some Fred Flintstone alien crashed off the coast of Cebu.

On Wednesday, the third day, we drove up to the

Saavedra Beach Resort with its pristine beaches. While

there, we made it a point to hop over to a nearby rock

island to snorkel in the crystal clear waters.

And on Thursday – our last full day in Cebu – we took a

speed ferry to Bohol Island. The one-way ferry ride took

close to two hours. Bohol was a fascinating showcase of

Philippine culture. It was a bit messy though - but in a nice

way. As countries develop and become sophisticated,

they become sterile as well. A bit of dirt is good for the

soul! We had a full day of sightseeing on the island. At

fi rst, I didn’t know what they meant when they said Cebu

is where you work, Bohol is where you have fun! Wisdom

just sank in!

The tour van took us through country roads and dirt

tracks, and we got to see how the natives lived and

worked. Along the way we saw padi fi elds and small

poultry farms. The itinerary included stopovers at the

Butterfl y Park and the Tarsier Sanctuary.

Our last stop was Chocolate Hills! These series of

conical mounds spread over a large area. They were

all similarly shaped - like hershe chocolate cones some

people say. It seems that hundreds of thousands of years

ago, they were coral reefs. Then in a series of ground shifts,

they became islands. Over the millennia, the movement

of the tectonic plates pushed them further up to become

hills. Only grass grows on them, that’s why they look like

bald hills. Now that we’d seen Chocolate Hills our lives

were fulfi lled; we could depart Bohol in peace.

As a last favour to me, Chris picked us up at the hotel

and drove us to the airport and we were on our way home

to our daily grind.

Dahang salamat, Chris! Owe you back when you come

again to Singapore.

And HERE’S the reason (sorry Christopher Dizon !!!) for our trip to Bohol

- CHOCOLATE HILLS! Ok, the hills don’t look anything like chocolate here

- but at the height of summer they are supposed to turn brown. We were

forced to use our imagination.

LEFT: On arrival at the ferry-pier in Bohol, we were greeted by a rondalla

band made up of elderly Filipino men (oh, those old boys certainly know

their guitar!).

TRAVELLER’S TALES

hocolate H illsby VINCENT ESPECKERMAN

We alighted on a little platform to the joyful strains of the ukelele played

by the native folks. They also performed the tinikling (Filipino bamboo

dance) with real nifty footwork.

In Bohol, we took a river cruise in one of these boat. There was a live

music and buffet lunch on board.
